I come back to an old dream of mine: the assault of the Cutt's coloumn at the Battle of Blenheim, reducing the measure from 28 mm to 15 mm.
The precision of the trimming of the papersoldiers is not so precise like in the other scale, but the total vision of the array is quite amazing, considering that the width remains the same.
I started than with the Hessian - Kassel Brigade (second line) called the Wilke's Brigad, on 5 battallions. The usual order of battle for this brigade quotes every battalion to a 400 men force each. Obviously this was not the concrete case.
I decided than to increase or decrease the numbers. For instance the Leibgarde Hessen Garde is increased to a total amount of over 500 men.

I split each battallion in a half company stand, permitting in this way to array the unit also in coloumn.
Top: 3 battallions one after the other: Erbprinz von Hessen-Kassel, Leibgarde and Hessen Grenadiere Regiment. Around 1.500 papersoldiers.
This scale is quite convinient considering that I can keep a rate of 140 papersoldiers/hour; this means that in a good raining day it's possible to create a 500 men battalion in one boring afternoon. Soon new battalions will be published.
The idea is to recreate the entire brigade as a first step.
